Wouldnt this basically end the careers of many players instantly?


Yea, but the number of roster spots stays the same, so instead of having special teams specialists, teams can add extra position players, so that's a wash, IMO.

How would this work at the beginning of each half?

The options are either to go for it and try to retain possession or punt. If you go for it and fall short, of course, the opposing team would take over with good field position.
Like anyone is going to do this, unless they are way behind

i think theres better ways to fix it than what goodell has proposed.

Kickoff from the 20 allows the KO return to stay and confirms ST as a viable strategy to win a football game. Prevents kickoffs into the endzone.

This is the exact opposite of what the NFL and Goodell want. This is all about player safety.

Of course you do. The real question is, how does Maggie feel about it?
